Dog-Friendly Cafés & Pubs in Hampshire

Hampshire is full of places where dogs aren’t just allowed — they’re genuinely welcome. From cosy dog-friendly pubs with roaring fires in the New Forest, to bustling high street coffee shops in Southampton and peaceful tearooms in Basingstoke, there’s something for every taste.

 

Whether you’re stopping for a post-walk pint, a leisurely brunch, or a slice of homemade cake, you’ll find plenty of pubs and cafes that offer fresh water bowls, dog treats, and a friendly pat for your four-legged friend. Some even go the extra mile with puppuccinos or special canine menus — perfect for making your outing just as special for your dog as it is for you.
